I’d love it my Sony Ericsson w850i had a QWERTY keyboard and a slightly larger screen, so I could write longer e-mails and not get frustrated with text message input limitations. Besides, most of the smart phones out there at the moment that have QWERTY keyboards are the size of bloody toasters. (No thank you!)

[...] But it looks like if you want to keep writing about this, then go see Sinéad. She’s taken up the mantle and is asking people a new science question (no Wii prize this time though), the question is: What changes would you make to an existing piece of technology?

Personally, I would like software to be improved. If they could rewrite it so that it would just do its job without crashing, freezing, doing the wrong thing, costing too much, taking too much space or taking too much memory.
Maybe I’m asking too much?

[...] Read the replies to the science week inspired question “What change would you make to an existing piece of technology” here. If someone would like to keep the ball rolling please do. We all need inspiration at some point – I’m quite a sporadic Blogger, science week was the most I’ve ever written in such a short space of time, of course there was that extra piece of motivation too.

[...] The iSkin resolves this problem for Apple laptops. I have one on my old G3 iBook and it works a treat. In fact I liked it so much I bought another one recently for my new MacBook Pro that should be landing sometime between Dec. 4th and Dec. 14 th (according to Apples ever changing delivery schedule). But we shouldn’t have to shell out separately for this stuff, it should come as standard. Via: Sinéad | Tags: technology keyboard iskin [...]

[...] things haven’t completely stalled on that front. Sinead Cochrane asked what changes would you make to an existing piece of technology? and yes, I do want to see my suggestion made (flashing gnomes are [...]
